SHOCK POLE — Poland does not want refugees from war zones

A CBOS (Centre for Public Opinion Research) poll has found that 52 per cent of Poles do not want to to accept refugees into their country. 40 per cent believe Poland should accept refugees, albeit as a temporary measure until their problems back home are resolved. Only four per cent believe refugees should be granted permanent residence.

Two thirds of those polled said Poland should not accept refugees coming to the EU from the Middle East and Africa, but 58 percent said Poland should accept refugees from the war-torn regions of eastern Ukraine.
